Tholr presence encourages us in our work, As I look Into your pleasant faces, and extend to Jou the right hand of fellowship, I beg leave to congratulate you on the jirrsonnf! of this Institute. Our esteemed County Supt. Prof. T. A. Snyder, who is officiating as Purveyoi-in- Chlef and Toastmaster ex-offlcio of this intellectual feast, has spared noltber pains nor expenso in his preparations to cater to our Intellectual appetites. Ho has called to his side a faculty of instructors from different parts of our country who are ladles and gentlemen of high culture and practical ability, lie has carefully pre pared a Menu for each day and evening that cannot fall to please even tho most fastidious. His faculty of instructors, headed by our Honorable State Superinten dent of public instruction, will set before ns viands of choice intellectual food richly seasoned with sound common senso and ripe experience, and besides, our distin guished friend from Lancaster City, Prof. Hall, will furnish us occasional draughts ot music to wash down, us It were, tho pedagogic modicums. The Idea of holding Teachers' Institutes was conceived many years ago, ami wc have fragmentary records of "teachers meetings" in this country, held early in the present century, nowcynr tho Idea was first formally adopted in 1830, by Prof. Henry Barnard, State Superintendent of Connecticut. Tho State of New York has Its Teachers' Institutes since 1843. Our own btato stands on record as one of tne pioneer states In this Impoitant auxiliary movement in education. Its recent legis lation shows a thorough earnestness In the matter, aud tho consequence is our Teachers' Institutes arc growing. They ate growing in attendance, in interest, in effect. Teachers are now paid for their attendance, and they are expected to give It their full time and attention. In every state where public schools are duly ap preciated, tho Teachers' Institute Is re garded as an indispensable factor in the system of public education. To abandon Teachers' Institutes would bo a big step backward aud a long stop downward. Such Institutes aro temporary Normal Schools, and they cannot fail to result In the professional Improvement of the teachers, and as a consequence, teachers are becoming more practical and less book- Uh. Whatever improves the teachers Immediately Inures to the benefit nf the children and the Stato. The area of Carbon County Is cotnpara tlvely small. It would scarcely make four hundred farms of a squaro mile each. In size, it is the fifty-sixth county in the state, the forty-seventh. and population as one or me smallest counties in the state But, It we apply the intellectual yardstick, and measuro the ardent and progressive spirit of Its people in tho cause of education, and if we figure Its ayerage school term, and tho average salary paid to its teachers. we find that our little county stands in the front rank. Therefore, judging front an Intellectual standpoint, wo have a right to say that little Carbon Is a big county. If our vision wore perfect, and we had tbe courage to seat ourselves In a cozy, well-balanced balloon on a clear, calm beautiful school-day morning, and ascend sufficiently high to overlook our little Inglon, from TJ "ashlngton to Cincinnati, from Cincinnati to Chicago, from Ohlcogo to Omaha and from Omaha all tho way to San Franclco and a thousand miles further. Jf this procession would march nt tlie rate of lour miles an hour, It would take them nearly fifty days ami fifty nights to pass a glyen point. li'o look at tho figures expressing this enormous school population, and wo con gratulate ourselves upon tho prosperous condition of our public schools. Our system of public education is gettlngjo bo regarded as a permanent and Indispensable factor In the social culturo'of tho natiom We begin to rca'lzfl that tho progress and wel fare of tho next generation depend in a large measure upon tho attention wo give to tho education of tho children of this generation. Wo begin to recognize tho education of Its masses as the true basis of good society, of good government, and of tins attainment of the highest possibilities of human life. Wo rejoice that our public schools are Institutions whose doors stand wide open, inviting alt young people of proper ago (o ontcr; limitations where tho rich and tho poor meet on a common level, and sharaatlke tho blessings and the advantages of a fieo and practical educa tion. However, ladles and gentlemen, I must como to a close .for fear of tiring your patience. Thanking von for your kind attention, I again bid you a heaitr welcome, and wish ion all a jolly good time. I sincerely hope, whf n our week's work is dono, and you lcavo us for your homes and your respective fields of Ubor, that yon will carry with tou pleasant, lasting and favorable Impressions of our people, of our town, and especially of the twenty fifth annual session of the Teachers' Institute of Carbon County.

Twenty or more ladies and gentlemen, enough clay pipes so each will have one, three or four bowls of soap-suds, and, say, half a dozen trifles, for prizes, are all that ts required, the prizes- to be awarded to those who blow the largest bubbles, one of the party to act as1 referee. The suds should be of Ivory Soap, as it gives a clean, white, . and abundant lather, with an entire freedom from oil or .grease; and as the materials of which it is made are so clean and pure, it is not at all offensive to the smell or taste, like Ordinary soap. A WORD OF WARNING. There are many white soaps, each represented to be " lust as good as the ' Ivory1 ;" they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of - -the genuine. Atk for " Ivory " Soap and Insist upon getting it. r 1 Copyright ISS6, by Procter & Osmble. i i m i.nj ni"" .b'jjijj DAM MEHR KAM & SON, LEADERS IN NEW LOW PRICES.
